patches/packages/bind-9.10.4_P2-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed a security issue:
getrrsetbyname with a non absolute name could trigger an infinite
recursion bug in lwresd and named with lwres configured if when
combined with a search list entry the resulting name is too long.
(CVE-2016-2775) [RT #42694]

(* Security fix *)

patches/packages/libgcrypt-1.7.3-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
Fix critical security bug in the RNG [CVE-2016-6313]. An attacker who
obtains 580 bytes from the standard RNG can trivially predict the next
20 bytes of output. (This is according to the NEWS file included in the
source. According to the annoucement linked below, an attacker who obtains
4640 bits from the RNG can trivially predict the next 160 bits of output.)
Problem detected by Felix Doerre and Vladimir Klebanov, KIT.

patches/packages/linux-4.4.19/*: Upgraded.
A flaw was found in the implementation of the Linux kernels handling of
networking challenge ack where an attacker is able to determine the shared
counter. This may allow an attacker located on different subnet to inject
or take over a TCP connection between a server and client without having to
be a traditional Man In the Middle (MITM) style attack.
Be sure to upgrade your initrd after upgrading the kernel packages.
If you use lilo to boot your machine, be sure lilo.conf points to the correct
kernel and initrd and run lilo as root to update the bootloader.
If you use elilo to boot your machine, you should run eliloconfig to copy the
kernel and initrd to the EFI System Partition.
